Audio Features

5.1ch AV Receiver: The Yamaha RX-V373 AV Receiver is
equipped with a 5-channel amplifier rated at 85 watts (into 8-ohms, at 1khz,
with 0.9% THD, driving 2 channels) which provides high dynamic power with
low-impedance drive capability. The RX-V373 also includes a single LFE
(mono-subwoofer) output for connecting a powered sub.

Wide-range Frequency Response: The receiver's wide-range
frequency response, 10Hz to 100kHz, allows you to enjoy the full fidelity of
DVD-Audio and Super-Audio CD players.

Low-Jitter PLL Circuitry: The Yamaha AV receiver utilizes low-jitter
PLL circuitry to help optimize sound imaging. The result is a more dynamic sound
with greater detail and less distortion.

YPAO Technology: This unit employs the YPAO (Yamaha
Parametric Acoustic Optimizer), which automatically adjusts the output of the
speakers based on placement, performance, and the room's acoustic
characteristics. Yamaha's YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated
equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where
the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each
speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze
the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters; such as the speaker size,
the distance of the speakers, and even the volume level; until it achieves the
best sound conditions for your room. Using the supplied Optimizer Microphone, YPAO performs the
following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible
sound from your system:

Speaker Wiring: Checks which speakers are connected and
the polarity of each.

Speaker Size: Checks the frequency response of each
speaker and sets the appropriate crossover frequency for each channel.

Speaker Distance: Checks the distance of each speaker
from the listening position and adjusts the delay of each channel.

EQ: Each channel has a parametric equalizer; choose one
of three target settings before running the setup.

Natural: adjusts all speaker to a natural sound;
useful when the flat setting sounds too bright

Flat: use when all the speakers in the system have
similar sound characteristics

Front: EQs the center and rear speakers to sound
like the front; useful when your front speakers are better than the
others in the system

Volume Level: Checks and adjusts the volume level of
each speaker.

Note: You can also choose to manually adjust the AV
receiver's speaker settings.

Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be
selected if your audio source is connected to the AV receiver via a digital
audio connection (HDMI, optical, or coaxial). Even though the AV receiver
will decode 7.1ch surround sound (via HDMI), it will only output 5.1ch
surround, because it lacks Surround Back channel speaker outputs.

Dolby Pro Logic II Settings: You can adjust the
following parameters in Pro Logic II Music modes:

Panorama: sends stereo signals to the surround
speakers as well as the front speakers for a wraparound effect

Dimension: adjusts the soundfield either towards
the front or towards the rear of the room

Center Width: moves the center channel output
completely towards the center speaker or towards the front left and
right speakers

Center Image (DTS NEO: 6 Music): This parameter adjusts
the front left and right channel output relative to the center channel to
make the center channel more or less dominant as necessary.

CINEMA DSP Soundfields: Conventional multichannel audio
reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using
matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA
DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent
soundfields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With
dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate soundfields, you
will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity
and richness, and realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room
have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater. The AV
receiver offers 17 CINEMA DSP programs for movies, music, and games.

Note: You can
change the receiver's CINEMA DSP effect level (level of the soundfield
effect to be added). You can adjust the level of the soundfield effect
from -6 dB to +3 dB.

CINEMA DSP Modes: The Yamaha RX-V373 A/V receiver offers
proprietary Yamaha CINEMA modes so you can enjoy your movies and music even more
in your home; regardless if you are using Presence Speakers, only have a
two-channel speaker system, or listening through headphones.

Virtual CINEMA DSP: Virtual CINEMA DSP is an algorithm
that allows you to enjoy DSP soundfield surround effects while using a
minimal two-speaker system. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of
CINEMA DSP surround sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in
custom installations where some rooms don't have surround speakers). It can
be used with the front/center/presence speakers or even with just the two
front left and right speakers. This unit will switch to virtual CINEMA DSP
mode automatically when surround speakers are unavailable.

SILENT CINEMA: SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear
large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones. This is a variation
of CINEMA DSP technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private
to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening
fatigue.

Compressed Music Enhancer: Yamaha employs sophisticated
digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that
improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3, WMA, and
AAC. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer
and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as
possible.

Dynamic Range: The amount of dynamic range compression applied
to bitstream signals is adjustable; Min/Auto is suitable for low volume listening,
Standard is typical for home use, and Max doesn't compress the dynamic range at all.

Bass & Treble: You can adjust the balance of the
high-frequency range (Treble) and low-frequency range (Bass) of sounds
output from the receiver' front left and right speakers to obtain a desired
tone. You can independently adjust the bass (50Hz) and treble (20kHz) from
-6dB to +6dB in 0.5 dB increments. The tone control of the speakers or
headphones can be set separately.

Extra Bass: You can select whether to play front
channel low-frequencies through either of the front speaker or the
subwoofer, or through both the subwoofer and front speakers.

Subwoofer Trim: The Subwoofer Trim control enhances the
low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will
result in a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless
frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional
systems, the overall sound is "pushed" toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim
takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus
stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass
sound.

Volume Setup: The Yamaha RX-V373 allows you to customize the
receiver's volume levels.

Max Volume Adjustment: Use this feature to set the
receiver's maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the
volume too loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from -30 dB to +15 dB
in 5 dB steps, or to +16.5 dB (full volume range is -80 dB to +16.5 dB).

Initial Volume Setting: Use this feature to set the
volume level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Off (same
as the volume when the unit was turned off), Mute, and -80 dB to + 16.5 dB
in increments of 0.5 dB.

Volume Trim: Use this feature to adjust the volume
level of each input. This is useful to balance the level of each input to
avoid sudden changes in volume when switching between input sources. The
range is from -6 dB to +6 dB in 0.5 dB increments.

Digital Inputs: The Yamaha AV receiver is equipped with two
optical digital inputs (AV-1/AV-4) and two coaxial digital inputs (AV-2/AV-3).

Speaker Terminals: The receiver has binding post terminals
for the front speaker outputs and spring terminals for the center and surround
outputs. The binding posts can accept bare wire, pin connectors, and single
banana plugs. The terminals are spaced too far apart for dual banana plugs. The
collar surrounding the binding post terminals prevent the use of spade
connectors. You can select 8 ohms or 6 ohms in the
menu depending on your speaker application. The amplifier supports 4- to 8-ohm
Front speakers, and 6- to 8-ohm Center and Surround speakers.

Headphone Jack: The Yamaha RX-V373 is equipped with a front-panel 1/4"
headphone jack for connecting a set of headphone, so you can listen to your
music privately. Connecting a set of headphones automatically mutes the
receiver's speaker outputs. Sound effects applied during playback can also
be heard through the headphones.

AM/FM Tuner: The Yamaha RX-V373 AV receiver features a built-in AM/FM
tuner with manual, seek, and preset tuning. The RX-V373 lets you store up to 40 AM/FM
station presets. This can be done manually or automatically (auto-preset
tuning). You can set this receiver to automatically
match FM broadcast frequencies in stereo, or convert the frequency to monaural
for weaker stations. An indoor FM wire antenna and AM loop antenna are
included with the receiver.

Video Features

HDMI (v.1.4): 1080p HDMI (v.1.4) with 3D and Audio Return Channel (4 In/1 Out)
deliver crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable. HDMI
dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide you with the highest-quality
home theater experience. HDMI can provide an interface between most audio/video
sources, such as a set-top box, Blu-ray player, DVD player, or A/V receiver and
a video monitor, such as a High Definition Television (HDTV), over a single
cable. The AV receiver's HDMI jacks can be used for 2-channel and
multi-channel linear PCM (up to 8-channel) and Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc)
digital audio formats. The HDMI 1.4 jacks also support 1080p and 4K video
signals; as well as Deep Color (30/36 bit), x.v.Color,
24 Hz refresh rates, and auto Lip-Sync compensation.

4K Pass Through: 4K Pass Through allows the Yamaha RX-V373 to receive
super high-definition resolution video and pass the video signal to a 4K
compatible TV or display monitor. This ensures compatibility with the latest
super high resolution video formats.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be
sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable
already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the
need for extra cables connected to your television.

x.v.Color: The AV receiver supports x.v.Color, offering a
wider color range than the current broadcast standard. For the x.v.Color feature
to be useful, the entire video production chain must be compatible
(camera-editing-format-player-display).

Deep Color: The Yamaha receiver also supports Deep Color
which allows the color depth of video signals passing through HDMI to be raised.
The number of colors that could be expressed by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216
colors) with a standard HDMI jack. However, the number of colors which can be
expressed by 1 pixel is 36 bits with a Deep Color enabled HDMI jack. Since the
gradation of the depth of a color can be expressed more finely with more bits,
continuous color changes can be more smoothly expressed. For the Deep Color
feature to be useful, the entire video production chain must be compatible
(camera-editing-format-player-display).

Lipsync: This function
adjusts the delay between audio and video output. You can do this manually or
have the receiver set the Lipsync function automatically.

Manually: You can manually delay the sound output up to 250ms to
synchronize it with the video image.

HDTV-compatible Component Video: The RX-V373 offers two component
video inputs and a component video monitor output. These inputs and output have a
frequency response of 5 Hz to 60 MHz and will pass High Definition video sources up
to 1080p.

Background Video: The Background Video feature allows you to
watch a video source while listening to a different audio source. With the
RX-V373, you can select any video input, and listen to AM/FM radio or select
songs from a USB device at the same time.

USB/iPod Integration

USB Port: This unit is equipped with a front-panel USB
(type-A) port that allows you to enjoy WAV (PCM format only), MP3, WMA, and AAC
music files
from a USB mass storage class memory device; such as a portable MP3 player or
USB thumbdrive (not compatible with USB HDDs).
This unit can recognize sampling frequencies of up to 48 kHz on a compatible USB
storage device. Your USB mass storage class device must be formatted in FAT 16
or FAT32 . You can use the receiver's on-screen menu (via HDMI) and remote
control to navigate your stored music files on your connected USB memory device.
USB portable audio players that can be charged via USB will be charged when
plugged into the AV receiver's USB port (5V/2.1A); even in standby mode.

Note: While listening to a song from a USB device, you can view a
favorite video or photo from the receiver's monitor output.

iPod/iPhone Direct: The USB (type-A) port on the front-panel provides
convenient connection for your iPod/iPhone, which also charges (max. 1A) when connected.
The iPod/iPhone USB digital connection means that the digital audio signal from
your
iPod/iPhone is transmitted directly to the system, minimizing noise interference
and allowing use of the receiver's DAC, not the DAC in your iPod/iPhone. This
results in more precise sound reproduction. You can navigate your iPod/iPhone's
music via the receiver's on-screen menu (via HDMI) and remote control, or
continue to use your iPod/iPhone's clickwheel or touchscreen. You can browse
your iPod/iPhone's music content via Playlist, Artist, Album, Song, Genre, or
Composer. You can also control Repeat & Shuffle functions. Song/artist
information and Album Art will display on your connected TV (via HDMI). Your
iPod/iPhone's battery will be charged while connected to the receiver (even in
standby mode up to 4 hours). Using the dock cable that came with your Apple
device to connect directly to the Yamaha A/V receiver, iPod/iPhone compatibility
is as follows (as of 1/11/2013):

Excellent Product!

Written By hulk, Killeen, TX. 76542 on Wednesday, May 08, 2013

I have been slowly setting up my home media for the past year. I was skeptical about buying a new receiver or if it would make a difference. IT DID! My parents paid over $1,400 for another system and they envy how amazing my surround sound sounds. When people ask how I got my sound to sound like a movie theater; the secret is in my receiver and sub. The only regrets I have is I wish (knowing what I know now) I would have paid the extra money for the WiFi version of this receiver.

After doing my research before I made a purchase, Yamaha is, to the best of my knowledge, the inventors of receivers. Therefore, they do there best to consistently put out elite products.

Pros:Beefed up my sound in a BIG way! And was in my price range. I have all my components connected to it, making my home media more convenient. I can see the receiver's menu screen on my TV (i.e. volume, settings, etc). It has plenty of power! It also has the YPAO (microphone) for automatically and 'accurately' setting the speaker volumes and distances (not the main system volume). The equalizer is very customizable. I can promise, you won't be disappointed with this unit. The price is a major plus!

Cons:No built in WiFi and only one connection for a sub. However, with the right sub and setup, one sub is all you need. I wish there was a faster way to fine-tune the equalizer, but this is the same as all receivers.

may take it back, Best Buy gives 30 days to do so

Written By Gordo, Tracy CA on Tuesday, February 19, 2013

Sound is great for the price. But, my first dis-like was the speaker connections - very weak for center and rear speakers unless you're using 18g wire. Where I am getting a little perplexed with the ability to control the receiver with my Direct TV remote. Some codes allow me to turn it on, others allow to turn it off, and while they all allow me to control the volume, none can turn the system both on and off, and none will allow me to change between HDMI 1 and 2.

Pros:Sound is great for the price

Cons:Speaker connections - very weak for center and rear speakers.Inability to control the receiver with a Direct TV remote

Satisfied

So far so good. Fairly new. Well see after a year.has plenty of options for anyone to be happy with.

Pros:Easy to install set up and get it going. I had to use the manual but that is standard for me.

Cons:Does not have a printed manual so it was very awkward to have to lok something up in a pc on the other side of the room and then come back to t he set to make the adjustments. I am still trying to figure out if I can adjust the volume of each speaker individually .

Yamaha RX-V373

My last home theater system was about 20 years old, and started to overload while in surround mode only, this Yamaha RX-V373 AV system is for me state of the art. Once I figured out the setup it was simple to get started, some features are more compicated for me since I need to connect my Direct/TV systems to the received, the setup I have now works OK for Blue Ray and the HD TV, I just need to figure out the best configuration for SAT TV and DVD, for me a call to the geek squad would be very helpful

rx-v373

great for an entry level receiver just wished had waited a little longer for the price reduction of $30.00 but even so the value is still good at $249.00. This receiver with good speakers will give many hours of enjoyable listening.

Pros:A GREAT SOUNDING MACHINE WITH VERY NICE FEATURES, SET UP WAS A BIT TRICKY BUT THAT IS MOSTLY BECAUSE OF ME.... I COME FROM SIMPLER DAYS WHEN AN ON/ OFF SWITCH WAS HIGH TECH SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR MOST. YAMAHA BUILDS QUALITY AND WOULD REFER THIS MACHINE IN A HEART BEAT!

Nice Receiver

Written By Greg, Charlottesville, VA on Thursday, January 24, 2013

I've had the unit for about 3 weeks, works and sounds very good. Lots of sound features. The set up menus are a bit confusing at first but after a few moments it's not too bad. I really like the ARC HDMI connection. My LG 55LE8500 55 icnh HDTV has 4 HDMI connections, none of which are labeled for ARC i even called LG and the say my model of TV does not support ARC, but I tried anyway and it works. I have my TV, Cable set top box, BluRay and RokuXD all working via HDMI connected to the Yamaha RX-V373 receiver. Example" I have 1 HDMI connected to the ARC connection on the rec. running to HDMI 1 on the TV, BD viaHDMI cable to rec. HDMI 1, set top to HDM2, Roku to HMD3. I can switch between device inputs with one click on the Yamaha remote. My only disappointment is I bought this as an open box item and now Crutchfield has it brand new for the same price.

Yamaha RX-V373

Excellent upgrade from my 19 year old (still excellent condition) Harmon Kardon AVR20; mainly due to the hmdi connections, plus optical inputs. Sound quality is great; especially with the right speakers. The first shipment had a defective ARC connection. It happens. Crutchfield return policy alleviated any anxiety. The included YPAO for fine tuning speakers works perfectly. I think a written manual would be preferred by many over the CD manual. For the price you get excellent entry-level Yamaha quality.

Yamaha RX-737

I was replacing a JVC home theatre that I had for close to 10 years which finally smoke out. After reading the reviews and I had a Yamaha speakers which sounded great, my decision was to go to Yamaha RX 737. One of the test was to put on action movie that durning the car action my subwoofer and reciever would go out, not so with the Yamaha reciver. Very happy with the sound, especially with the mono movie, have some old TV series can only be played in that mode.

Pros:Set up was simple. Sound above or equal with other higher price recivers.

Cons:Directions really should be a manual type not dvd, Showing across from reciever doesnt show anything except Auv 2, when you have it on differnt mode or sound be nice if it was shown on the reciever.

Very Good AVR

I bought this unit to replace a Denon avr that went south, currently paired with a 5.1 Definitive Technology speaker setup. I listen to music more than watching movies, the 373 handle both tasks equally well. This receiver is an excellent value at this price point.

Pros:Very good sound. Tons of features. Price is right for this receiver. Crutchfield service.

Amazing Value!

I couldn't believe the sound quality and the options! I paired this with the Polk Blackstone TL-250 and Polk PSW111. The sound is amazing, and sounds like I spent a lot more. I love the Scene buttons. It makes it easy for my non-techie girlfriend to watch tv or a bluray without asking for help. I added a Logitech Harmony 700 remote, and that really completed the package.

Great entry level receiver...

Replaced a Harman Kardon that cost two times what this did. To me it was an upgrade. Sound quality is great. It is an integral part of my home theater. More inputs than I'll ever need. USB/iPod input. Remote is easy and straightforward- all inputs have their own buttons.

Pros:Pros: Great sounding DSPs; Good Power Output; Great Sound Quality; Flexible inputs: A lot of bang for your buck.

great receiver for home use

Written By jobcho, Bulgaria on Tuesday, November 13, 2012

great purchase. I had some Samsung home all in one theater system, with 5x30+30Watts sub, which was almost dead. I was looking for good home use receiver in the middle class and found this one. Actually i saw RX-V371 first, then saw that RX-373 has front USB panel, and the price was just a little more. Once installed with 5.1 surround speaker system, 50Watts front and central and 30Watts rear+50Active Sub, everything got in place. The sound of the whole system is absolutely great, nothing more can be desired for room of 15-20Mx2. All DSP features offers everything that I can think of. Also all other features are also great- have connected all other media directly to receiver and then connected to TV and separates the audio from video signal fine. I guess that there are many functions which I will have to read deeper in order to use them, but overall, that receiver offers everything that I can think of for home theater sound and the price was even great.

Solid Sound

I was hesitant to purchase another Yamaha amp/receiver as I was replacing a 2003 model that had several key features that stopped working. The old receiver did not have any HDMI ports and only had one SPDIF connection which needed updating badly. Also, the amp would no longer send LFE signals to the sub and the MD connection stopped working, making me utilize the front connection to play my iPod. When the surround speakers no longer were getting signals, I decided to purchase a sound bar. The best sounding bars were American made and all had questionable reviews concerning reliability, so I went with another Yamaha amp/receiver. I'm glad I did. The new technology of this receiver is so easy. The sound is stellar and the on-screen menu made setup very smooth. I didn't have to tune the surround system manually because of the setup mic, so I'm actually getting all of the surround sound I had always dreamed of with my last system. With my new Samsung 46" LED and this system set to the sports setting, it's like being at the game - almost. There's nothing like actually being at a baseball, football, or hockey game. I have high expectations for long-term reliability so I'm hopeful that the newer technology will work longer than my last Yamaha.

Pros:1. The room tuning feature for the surround is great.
2. The on-screen setup and tweaking menu is the easiest to work with.
3. The iPod connector on the front is a plus. I doesn't require a special dock which is required for other brand systems.
4. Purchase from Crutchfield in general. Given the choice, I will always purchase electronics from them. I ordered this component while shopping at my local big box store.

Cons:1. Can't use both component and HDMI as source for HDMI 2. Samsung DVD players are terrible with older DVD's connected through HDMI. Component is the only way for the playback to not be choppy.
2. Had to go from 6:1 surround to 5:1 for about the same cost as my last system. This is negligible.

Good

Our one-year-old receiver died. We are not audiophiles but know superior sound when we hear it. We weren't necessarily seeking the cheapest receiver, but we did want something that would help produce pleasing sound to our probably fairly ordinary ears. Crutchfield recommended this. We immediately liked its simplicity. Front, rear, and remote are far simpler than other units we have owned, crammed with features we would never use. We have five surround sound Infinity speakers and a subwoofer. They never sounded this good. Compared with what we were used to, it was almost like going to the movies. This receive delivers excellent, clear sound. Our previous unit could do many more things, and was several orders of magnitude more complicated (the entire remote was covered with tiny inscrutable buttons), but now even we could hear the difference.

Nice Nice Nice

Purchased to work with bookshelf speakers. This unit was placed in narrow cabinet and fit fine with cables inserted. It had more options than was needed for this client. The quality of sound and ease of use was more than acceptable and there was plenty of room to grow. Low heat immersion and menu display on television was nice bonus. Playing classical music on JBL Speakers in Concert Hall setting was spectacular. This was a great find and buy. You definitely get your bang for your buck.

Excellent Product and Value

I updated from RX-V420 to the RX-V373 and is being utilized in a home theater system. HDMI inputs and output simplifies the usage. Netflix streams Dolby Digital Plus which the older Yamaha could not process. The YPAO speaker adjustment feature is great. The overall sound is much improved. There are numerous new and updated features. Unless you have special interests regarding features, this unit is about all one needs for an average sized room of up to date excellent sound reproduction. I am a retired public school music teacher and classical music performer. I am 100% pleased. The RX-V420 is now incorporated in a stereo system and has never needed repair. Crutchfield is tops in all aspects of customer service.

Yamaha RX-V373

The YPAO did not work for me. Every time I used it, one or more speakers would flash as "out of phase". I cleared the room of large furniture for one pass, still out of phase. Speakers were all connected properly. When changing channels between HD and non HD, the screen would go green for 2-3 seconds. Between HD channels, no problem. The scene presets are handy. This receiver will be appreciated by a person who has multiple inputs (gaming, bluray, ipod, turntable, CD). The sound was good. I had a Sony Bravio LCD, Sony DVD & Sony speakers connected.

Yamaha RX-V373

Another excellent Yamaha product - replacement for an earlier Yamaha receiver that still works great but does not have HDMI capabilities. The ability to balance the room ambiance using the supplied microphone found that my rear surround speakers were both out of phase (unknowingly for the past ten years!). Some nice new features added since the last receiver.

Pros:Works well, without any apparent audio faults.

Cons:No FM signal strength indication...I still use a yagi on a rotor for distant FM stations. (No cable/tv provider used).
